Patriot's new 2GB DDR3 kit is called the Viper Fin PC3-15000, and runs at 1866MHz with 8-8-8-24 timings.  Hardware Zone was rather impressed by the new cooling solution, it wasn't even warm to the touch at 2.5V!  A little tweaking and by relaxing the timings just a little, to 9-9-9-28 and bumping the voltage up to 1.9V, they hit 2000MHz.

DDR2 is getting some rather oddly clocked modules as it matures, like Aeneon's newest XTune 2GB kit which is clocked at 1142MHz.  It is built to DDR2-800 CL5 specs, but is able to go faster if your board can handle it.  Big Bruin's could handle those speeds and more, the kit toped out at 1242MHz with the default 5-5-5-15 timings.

DDR2 is still running strong

Thanks to ever increasing clock rates, and lower latencies than DDR3; DDR2 is still going strong.  One of your newest choices is the Kingston HyperX 2GB PC2-9200 kit a pair of 1Gb DIMMs.  The default clock speed of 1150MHz is strange, but hitting 1200MHz is awfully easy, as you can see at Big Bruin.

8Gb kits are uncommon, but you can find kits for sale like the OCZ Quad 2Gb that Madshrimps tested.  They start out by looking at the rumours surrounding the usage of 8Gbs of RAM in a system, and then dispel them.  They felt the only sticking point was the price, but at $200, 2Gb of DDR3 will cost almost as much.
